I Favor the Villainess

The investigation then went well for a while.

The potato ceremonial maneuvers in the judicial dealings work, and the number of rogue nobles ever prosecuted rises to more than ten.

The matter of us seemed to have quickly become rumours, and a nobleman with obnoxious spots ran into cover-ups to rewrite books and conceal materials.

But a book is not something you can manage so quickly.

If there's anything nasty about it, no matter how much you hide it, it's still something strange that comes out.

Originally, there are materials that have been researched over the years by groups, including Master Rod.

In addition, since I myself have the know-how to spot the decorations, the nobles' cover-up was often a futile resistance.

Ladies Claire and Lily, who defeat the vicious aristocrats as bats, are now very popular with the civilian population.

That's why I was going relatively tongue-in-cheek, but I was here and there was a problem.

"D, the evidence linking you to the dollar or your father never comes out..."

Lady Lily grumbled about that while sorting out the material in the room for the secret service given to the royal palace.

Yes, it is.

Beginning with the lower nobles, the investigation reached some senior nobles, but no evidence emerged that would lead to the Dollars or Suras.

I have the pride of being here to the good line, but one more step is missing.

I wonder how close Dollar and Suras are to being prepared.

"That doesn't mean your father or Master Suras are innocent..."

Master Claire's voice has no power either.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, there was too much circumstantial evidence.

There is a good chance that Dollars and Suras are committing fraud.

In fact, the intermediate and higher nobles caught are claiming to have received requests for bribes from both of them.

But there is no record of Dollar or Suras actually giving such instructions.

The two castles are robust.

When we were in a dark mood, suddenly, the door opened.

"Hey, try your best."

"Dear Rod..."

It was Master Rod who came in.

Ugh.

Good afternoon.

"Oops. Claire's not very nice, is she?

The investigation is taking us up the reef.

"Well, I thought you would. Whatever the other nobles, the dollar and the suras..."

Only Master Rod, who was off the lead in the investigation until we took over, will also understand the challenges we face.

"What do you say we go straight to trial?

"You don't have any proof?

"There will be no conclusive evidence, but there will be circumstantial evidence. That won't be enough, but if my real daughter can stick it to me, maybe I'll give you some balls, huh?

Am I right?

But I can't think of anything else, because it's true.

"Well, I'll leave it up to you guys to do it or not. I have a job to do."

"Lo, what is Master Rod doing now?

Master Lily asked.

"Do you know that Wang Du is now carrying on with two rumors?

"Oh, that's a rumor that doesn't benefit either."

Master Claire seemed to pin quickly, but I didn't know what it was about.

"What's the rumor, Master Claire?

"Ray, isn't the difference too intense between when you're sharp and when you're blurry?

Something disgusted me.

It's a reward in our industry.

"Hih, one is a rumor of the Spirit's wrath. The other is a rumor about Sain's birth."

Take Master Lily's words and Claire will explain them to you.

"Recently, rumors have spread that spirits in the mountains are noisy, spirits are about to punish the nobles for their corruption. Though, Daimyo, it must have been a rumor created by a people angry at the scandals of the rogue nobles that have come to light in the last few days."

Oh, well.

Even now, how widespread is it?

I had a grudge, but it didn't come to my face.

"Another rumor is that Master Sein is not a child of His Majesty Roseille. Absolutely… civilians are paranoid"

Master Claire seems angry.

I don't know now, but Lady Claire admired Lady Sein.

If you say bad things about someone you like, then you'll be angry.

"Well, it's about those two rumors. You've been tasked with illegal nobility hunting, so I'm looking into you."

"Royal Rod would never go along with such rumors."

"No, not really"

To Claire's words, which also resembled blurring, Lord Rod returned them with an extremely serious voice.

"Whatever the rumors of Sein, there have been instances in the past where the anger of the mountain spirits has come down. It was a long time ago."

"Oh, really?

"In the words of the Spirit Church, a contraindicated fire,"

"Oh, oh...... of Sassal Volcano...?

"Yes."

Previously, when I introduced the College bath, I explained that the College bath is a hot spring.

That means the King's Capital is in the volcanic belt.

The closest volcano to the Wang capital is the Sassar volcano.

"According to the records, Sassar Volcano erupted hundreds of years ago. At that time, evil governance seemed to have spread in the Wang capital."

The eruption at this time was a devastating blow to the King's capital, according to records.

"I don't think so, but I can't ignore it because of the anxiety of the people"

"How are the rumors about Master Sein?

Lady Claire asks if it's not a home riot after you.

"I can't say anything about you from my mouth. If you want to hear it, just ask Sein directly."

That said, Master Rod clouded his mouth.

"Yeah, hey, Ray. Are you ready to respond to my proposal?

"No, not really."

"Ray!"

"Ha ha! No, that's good. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

How old the hell are you, I just wanted to say.

"We're busy right now, and Master Rod must be busy, so let's not be kidding."

"Heck. Well, when it comes to rumors, let me know if you guys pinch anything in your ears, too. Bye."

That's what I said, Master Rod tried to leave the room.

"Oh, wait, Master Rod"

"Oh? What?

"At the foot of the Sassar volcano, there was a small village."

"Oh, there is."

That's right, Master Rod.

Bright for the geography of the kingdom.

"You should evacuate that village."

"Why?

"If it erupts, the bubbled magma hits it directly"

To my words, Master Rod stroked his jaw.

"Well, I'd like to evacuate you too, but there's gonna be an eruption." Maybe. "Well, people don't move, do they?

"... right"

I knew it wouldn't work.

"Well, I'll keep it in mind. Bye."

With that said, Master Rod flickered his hands and left the room.

"Ray, you..."

"It's a stop, Master Claire. You've decided to shelf your marriage."

"... you did."

Lady Claire still wanted to say something, but for now, she didn't say anything more.

Love!

……

"What is it, Master Lily?

I noticed Master Lily's strong face and called out.

"Yes, no..., it's nothing"

"It won't mean it's nothing. Your face is blue, isn't it?

Sure, Master Lily has a bad complexion.

"Kee, I was wondering about the contraindication fire..."

It is about the eruption of the Sassal volcano.

"Or will the volcano... really erupt...?

"I can't help but care. The wrath of the Spirit is not something that is well known."

"Well, that's... I guess so"

But Master Lily continued.

"In the eruption on record, he said there was a lot of damage. Don't the lilies have to prepare for anything......?

"Cardinal Lilly. It's not like the royals or nobles are prepared for anything, is it?

Claire calmly points out to Lily, who still seems worried.

"The Wang Capital also has reserves for crop failures, as well as an organization called the Army, which prepares for good. Assuming there's an eruption, there's nothing you can do about it."

Master Claire's point is correct.

Right, but I know that's not enough.

And -.

We don't have much time left until there's an eruption.
